In a tragic incident, a UP officer was swept away by the powerful currents of the Ganga River. The officer, who was reportedly caught off guard by the river's strong flow, struggled to stay afloat. His friends, who witnessed the incident, immediately sought help from local divers.
However, according to the friends, the divers demanded a sum of Rs 10,000 before agreeing to rescue the officer. This unexpected demand for money shocked the group, as they were desperately trying to save their friend. The incident has raised concerns about the ethics and practices of those offering rescue services in such critical situations.
The situation highlights the need for a prompt and efficient response to emergencies, especially in areas where natural dangers like strong river currents are prevalent. The delay caused by the demand for money could have serious consequences, and it underscores the importance of having reliable and ethical rescue teams available in such regions.
As the search for the officer continues, authorities are being urged to investigate the incident, including the actions of the divers involved. The incident has sparked outrage and calls for stricter regulations and oversight of rescue operations along the Ganga and other dangerous rivers in the country.
